Unsportsmanlike; attacking faith is a sport for small boys.

Darwin’s mistake was thinking that his theory would advance understanding of nature while ignoring the obvious fact that civilization would champion the weak, therby undermining his theory’s very foundation.

It still remains open for discussion as to whether evolution should be thought progressive or comsumptive.

Actually, Darwin writes about that very same thing. You should read his works and not rely on some creationist website for your info. I makes you look, uh, misinformed.

You misunderstand my post, good sir. I attack someone who makes statements from abject ignorance. I would be a poor citizen indeed if I was not to attempt to school said child.

I think that Darwin didn’t consider the downstream result of the theory based on his observations. Good thing, else he would have edited himself pre-publication.

>>It still remains open for discussion as to whether evolution should be thought progressive or comsumptive.<<

Now that is a whole separate and undoubtedly interesting chain of thought.
